How can I understand  "by an elementary valid argument"?

We can define a formal proof, that a given argument is valid as a sequence of statements each of which follows from preceding statements of the sequence by an elementary valid argument.

Answer

It exists because it is the *always true thing* that is linking one statement to the next, i.e. each statement connects from the preceding statement through this basic (=elementary) valid (=true) argument.
